Question about finding Earth's data to graph my own hypsographic curve

Dear Earthdata Forum members:

I am currently doing a research mainly about the hypsographic(hypsometric) curve, i want to build my own curve regarding of Earth, Mars, Venus etc.
However, I was not able to obtain any specific data of earth, for instance i want some data list, i was thinking if there exist some txt file of earth data that have 2 columns: the left column is f, the right column is f(h), and f should be elevation and f(h) should be something like the percentage, so i can graph an elevation histogram, then convert it into a hypsographic curve.
I was wondering if someone can help me find this data, i look thourgh Earthdata but cannot find this type of data. I am using macos.

Thanks a lot!
Sincerely,
Wayne

Hi Wayne,

The CDDIS does not have the data you are looking for. Perhaps data from ICESat-2 would be useful. Here is their website: https://icesat-2.gsfc.nasa.gov/.

Best regards,

Lori
